EMS chief thanks Board of Directors

Dear Editor,

Lapeer County EMS Authority held their annual meeting on Dec. 13, 2007 at the Lapeer Township Hall. This is the annual meeting when all 15 owning municipality representatives are invited and encouraged to attend to discuss the past year's business and talk about plans for the upcoming year and to discuss and approve the upcoming year's budget. As well, at this meeting, the representatives elect the seven member Board of Directors who will be making decisions for Lapeer County EMS for the following year. The Board of Directors elected are: Kevin Daley, Arcadia Township; Eldon Card, Oregon Township; Lloyd Broecker, Hadley Township; Arlan Winslow, City of Imlay City; Paul Wilcox, Almont Township; Lynn Hoffman, North Branch Township; and Ray Evans, Dryden Township.

On Jan. 7 at the first Board of Director's meeting of the new year, the Board of Directors elected the officer's for the next year. Kevin Daley was elected chairman, Eldon Card, vice chairman, and Lloyd Broecker, secretary/treasurer. All three of these individuals have held these positions for the past three years or more, and all have done a great job.

I have worked with the same Board of Directors for several years, and I would like to publicly thank them all for their interest and involvement in the activities of the business. They are all very community minded, and are very interested in the well-being of our county residents.

Many thanks to the members of the Lapeer County EMS Board of Directors and also to all of the owning municipalities and representatives for the interest and support shown to Lapeer County EMS and our staff members.

Without all of you and your support it would be impossible for Lapeer County EMS and our staff to provide the quality emergency medical service that is currently being provided for the residents of Lapeer County.
